This kit was a long wait for a big disappointment. Soft detail everywhere - there's not a single sharp edge anywhere. This is very apparant on the breech. To me, the biggest let-down is that the anchoring spikes are molded to the outrigger legs so if you want to model the gun in firing position you would have to carefully cut the spikes off the legs and insert them in their holes. I suppose Hauler will address this and other problems eventually. On the plus side the small pieces are finely molded and the shield is not overly thick with nice relief detail molded on, although this will also look much better in photo-etch.
